Washington, August 13: A new research by scientists, through analysis of topography, ice, and free atmospheric change, has found that the melting of ice on mountains speed up their temperature rise.
The research was conducted by N. C. Pepin from the University of Portsmouth, U. K., and
J. D. Lundquist from University of Washington, US.
Forecasting how mountains will respond to climate change requires not only model estimations of large-scale regional warming trends, but also estimates of if and how warming rates vary with elevation.
